Reborn to Love: A Vampire's Fate
For so long, Favilla has wanted only one thing: to kill her Sire. However, on the eve of her success, she learns that she was only ever a chess piece in a game being played out by the most powerful vampires in the city. Her loved ones have betrayed her, and the one who was her greatest enemy wants to save her with his dying breath.
She dies for her mistakes, but the goddess is merciful. She is granted a second chance. Only, why is nothing the way she remembers it? Will she become a player this time around, or will she remain a pawn? Most importantly, can she make him understand that she loves him back?

'Everything is ready, then?' he says, a little sad.
I feel bad about it. 'It's not too late to back out, you know. He doesn't suspect anything yet.'
'No,' he says, 'I'll still do it. I'll kill him. For you, my love.'

'I'm scared,' I say.
'Don't be,' he says. 'You won't have to do anything but stand aside and watch.'

His arms are around me, and he's murmuring to me, 'Oh, you stupid, stupid girl.'
Only, it doesn't sound like him at all. It sounds cold, detached. Cruel.

Finally, the pieces start snapping into place—he's betrayed me.
